Background technology
This sorting machine has been described in International Patent Application WO 2009/128706A1.Its each load platform is made up of three load platform parts.Load platform parts, about their shape, about their excircle, similar each other more specifically.The push-down element that is configured to push-down beam is offered to each load platform.Push-down beam is connected in its corresponding end the ways being arranged on below load platform via Connection Element, this ways can selectively cooperate with fixed guide at classification position place.By the cooperation between said ways and guide, push-down beam crosses to relative extreme horizontal position from an extreme horizontal position, and during this crosses, the longitudinal direction of push-down beam comprises and transmission direction angulation.Connection Element extends through the slit in front load platform parts and the back loading platform component of parts that forms respectively an identical load platform.Due to the arcuate edge of the coupling of adjacent load platform, when by bend, also can guarantee that the stayed surface of various load platforms forms closure surfaces.
Summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of sorting machine of aforesaid kind, it has higher capacity, and in this meaning, it can be full of higher filling rate, and from the longitudinal direction of continuous duty platform, every element length has all been full of product how to be sorted.In order to realize this object, sorting machine according to the present invention is characterised in that, push-down element at least arranges asymmetrically with respect to two relevant paths in its extreme position.Like this, not necessarily cause the part of the push-down element that extends beyond path also to be located the lateral edge that exceedes load platform in the case of presenting the orientation of inclination along with push-down element, for push-down element, it not only can be in the surface-supported part that covers the load platform between two related channel programs during the movement between two extreme horizontal positions, and can cover the surface-supported part that extends beyond passage, or close on the stayed surface of load platform.
Preferably, aforementioned asymmetric being implemented, reason is that at least one end of push-down element extends to the position that exceedes at least a portion curved edge of relevant load platform, preferred at least a portion bow edge in its extreme position along transmission direction or along relative direction.Thereby, if at least push-down element be oriented in described movement during do not change, push-down element also will be covered in a part for the sections being limited by described curved edge while moving between two extreme horizontal positions so.
According to another preferred embodiment, load platform is on its stayed surface or at least above stayed surface, be provided with vertical edge for guiding product to be sorted.In the time that product to be sorted is supplied to load platform, this vertical edge can contribute to guarantee that product to be sorted ends at the proper position on push-down element side, this conventionally the supply transmitter in the path by being connected to continuous duty platform there is the angle of 30 ° (for example with).Thereby, can prevent that especially product to be sorted from moving forward on load platform parts, this causes product orientation to be sorted, for exceeding at least in part push-down element, in this way, must product to be sorted being pushed away to side at classification position place.By the way, the characteristic aspect that it should be noted that this preferred embodiment can also be applied to the sorting machine in aforesaid kind.
If particularly vertical edge extends perpendicular to transmission direction, if and/or vertical edge extends between two relevant push-down elements of load platform adjacent with two, if and/or vertical edge extends in the edge limited sections of bending by load platform (preferably convex) at least in part, can effectively realize so the above-mentioned functions of vertical edge.In this case, particularly, in the case of preferred embodiment below, can realize the phase difference between the closed region between the vertical edge of two adjacent load platforms and the stayed surface of said load platform.Thereby two stayed surfaces of two adjacent load platforms form the part in the region between two adjacent vertical edges, or in other words, form the part in the region being covered by push-down element mobile between two extreme horizontal positions.
In addition, have been found that very advantageously, if load platform at least comprise be provided with front arcuate edge front load platform parts, be provided with the back loading platform component of rear arcuate edge and the middle load platform parts between front load platform parts and back loading platform component, from birds-eye view, the shape of these centre load platform parts is rectangles so.
, especially, if two channel setting at two opposite edges places of middle load platform parts, this structure has structure advantage so.In fact, the rectangular shape of middle load platform parts can with the straight elongated shape matched well of two paths, two paths preferably have this shape.
In addition, if front load platform parts, middle load platform parts and back loading platform component with around vertical pivots relative to each other not the mode of pivotable be connected, be favourable.Because said platform component is not to connect around the mode of vertical pivots pivotable, so, even in the time of the bend by horizontal surface, deposit product thereon also by stayed surface stable experience, and do not exist load platform parts to be pivoted relative to each other will to cause the also risk of pivotable of product itself.
If driving element comprises two drive motor for each push-down element, can obtain so the very large degree of freedom that push-down element is moved.
If push-down element via two corresponding Connection Elements, be pivotally connected to driving element around two vertical pivots, can increase described degree of freedom so.
Preferably, the shape at front arcuate edge is convex, and the shape of rear arcuate edge is spill.
In the time that push-down element presents inclined orientation, for the size that prevents push-down element reduces as seen or reduces at least substantially from the direction perpendicular to transmission direction, if push-down element comprises relative to each other two extensible members of Telescopic movable, extensible member is connected to upper and another extensible member of in two Connection Elements one and is connected on another in two Connection Elements, and this is preferred so.
For cost reason, it is favourable push-down element not being configured to extensible member.For the inclined orientation that can realize push-down element is always in this situation, if push-down element comprises the guide device for coordinating with Connection Element, this is preferred so.The in the situation that of supposition inclined orientation, when the distance between two Connection Elements increases, Connection Element can move along guide device.For example, this guide device can comprise long slot bore or sliding edge
In addition,, in order to utilize push-down element to cover the stayed surface of largest portion, if two paths all extend through the whole width of load platform separately, this is favourable so.
Brief description of the drawings
Hereinafter, in conjunction with following schematic diagram, by illustrating in further detail the present invention according to the description of the preferred embodiment of sorting machine of the present invention.

Fig. 2 shows a part for the sorting machine of the Fig. 1 on the path by horizontal bend;
Fig. 3 is the detailed view for the load platform of the sorting machine of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
Detailed description of the invention
Sorting machine 1 comprises a succession of taxon 2.In use, described (preferably continuous) bunchiness taxon moves in transmission direction 3 along ring-type transmission path (not shown).
Each taxon 2 comprises underframe 4, and it supports carrier units 5.For example, as the underframe 4 of the type of describing in Netherlands patent applications NL2005338 is connected so that around vertical pivots 6 pivotables.Each underframe 4 is T shapes, and it has runner 7 and the guide wheel 8 at the respective end place that is arranged on T shape horizontal part, and these are taken turns the guide rail 9 that limits aforementioned ring-type transmission path with its route and coordinate.
Each carrier units 5 comprises the load platform 11 with the front arcuate edge 12 of convex and the rear arcuate edge 13 of spill.The stayed surface that is formed for product to be sorted.The radius of curvature of arcuate edge 12,13 is identical so that the front arcuate edge 12 of convex can be accurately in conjunction with the rear arcuate edge 13 of the spill of next load platform 11.Further choose the radius of curvature of arcuate edge 12,13, so that relevant diameter is corresponding with the width of each load platform 11 at least substantially.
Each carrier units 5 is positioned on the underframe 4 being associated, so that the center shaft of each arcuate edge 12,13 is consistent with pivot 6.As shown in Figure 2, the result of this structure is to pass through on the path of horizontal bend, and in the time that underframe 4 is pivoted relative to each other around relevant pivot 6 continuously, relevant load platform 11 will be pivoted relative to each other around pivot 6 equally.
Each load platform 11 is made up of the middle load platform parts 11b of front load platform parts 11a, back loading platform component 11c and between at least substantially.Load platform parts 11a, 11b and 11c are via transmitting housing 14,15 or at least interconnecting rigidly via parts rigidly connected with it (such as the arm 61,62 (Fig. 3) extending in transmission direction 3 or in contrast to transmission direction 3 from transmitting housing 14,15), and described arm 61,62 is arranged on the both ends place of each transmission housing 14,15.Also describe in further detail and transmit housing 14,15 with reference to Fig. 3.
Front load platform parts 11a is that circle lacks shape (segmental in shape) at least substantially, middle load platform parts 11b is rectangle, back loading platform component 11c has complementary shape, say in some sense, at least, in the straight line portion of transmission path, the shape of back loading platform component 11c is combined into rectangle with the scarce shape of circle of the front load platform parts 11a that is positioned at load platform thereafter.In addition, visible in the vertical cross-section diagram that is parallel to transmission direction 3, the front edge 12 of the adjacency of continuous duty platform 11 and lagging dege 13 also can have the profile of coupling, for example, according to glossal canal formula joint principle or as shown in Fig. 6 a to Fig. 6 c of International Patent Application WO 09/128706A1.
Each carrier units 5 further comprises the push-down element that is configured to direct push-down beam 21 above stayed surface.In the present embodiment, as shown in the middle classification unit 2 in Fig. 1, push-down beam 21 comprises two extensible member 21a, the 21b that relative to each other telescopically moves.Push-down beam 21 can move forward and backward in the horizontal direction between the front load platform 11 in Fig. 1 and back loading platform 11 two relatively extreme horizontal positions as shown in respectively.During this movement, the product on the related load platform 11 being present in the region covering by push-down beam 21 is pushed away to load platform 11 at classification position place.
In order to realize the transverse shifting of push-down beam 21 as above, each carrier units 5 is provided with driving element.Driving element engages push-down beam 21 via two Connection Elements 22,23, and Connection Element 22,23 is attached to contiguous block 26,27 via connecting pin 24,25.The shape of Connection Element 22,23 is columniform and utilizes some play to be fitted to (not shown) in the cylindrical chamber being separately positioned in extensible member 21a and 21b.Contiguous block 26,27 is connected to cog belt 28,29, and cog belt 28,29 is through toothed wheel 30,31.Toothed wheel 30,31 is mounted to its horizontal shaft being centered around in the associated shell 14,15 of as above simply discussing and rotates.At upside place, to transmit housing 14,15 and be provided with two parallel sections members 30,31 that limit close clearance 32 between it, gap extends across the whole width of said load platform 11.Aforesaid connecting pin 24,25 extends through relevant gap 32.The whole width that gap 32 makes load platform 11 in leap, make the surface-supported continuity local interruption of load platform 11.
Each cog belt 28,29 is provided with motor 41 for driving cog belt, and motor is arranged on the outside of relevant transmission housing 14,15.On the output shaft of motor 41, be provided with toothed wheel 42, tooth-shaped conveying belt 43 is through toothed wheel 42.Described tooth-shaped conveying belt 43 also passes through toothed wheel 44, and this toothed wheel 44 is configured to combine rotation around common axle with toothed wheel 31.Starter motor 41 will cause cog belt 29 to be driven and relevant Connection Element 23 makes push-down beam 21 move to side.
If two motors 41 relevant to push-down beam 21 are started to same degree simultaneously, this is by causing the transverse shifting of push-down beam 21, and during this transverse shifting, the direction of push-down beam 21 will can not change.If push-down beam 21 is in transmission direction 3 or be at least parallel to transmission direction 3 and extend, so therefore during the transverse shifting of push-down beam 21, will keep this direction.For example, situation as shown in Figure 2.
On the other hand, one after the other starter motor 41 again one after the other stop described startup, to such an extent as to for middle classification unit 2 as shown in Figure 1, push-down beam 21 will present direction of tilt.Because Connection Element 22,23 is connected to different extensible member 21a, 21b, extensible member 21a will cross extensible member 21b and shift out during this moves, therefore the total length of push-down beam 21 will increase, but from transmission direction, the rear side of push-down beam 21 will remain on actual identical (longitudinally) position.
As shown in clear in accompanying drawing, push-down beam 21 is located asymmetrically with respect to two relevant gaps 32.More specifically, Connection Element 22 engages push-down beam 21 near one end of push-down beam 21, and Connection Element 23 engages push-down beam 21 at the some place of the certain distance of the opposite end away from push-down beam simultaneously.Visible in the direction with respect to transmission direction 3, and in extreme horizontal position and in the inclined orientation of push-down beam in any case, visible in the direction perpendicular to transmission direction 3, the rear end of push-down beam extends to and is positioned at least part of spill lagging dege 13 that exceedes said load platform 11 at least apart from the position of x.Thereby, during transverse shifting, push-down beam 21 not only covers the region of general relevant load platform between two gaps 32, but also cover the post gap 32 that is positioned at load platform rear side place and formed the subregion of the subregion of the front load platform parts 11a that is positioned load platform thereafter 11.Therefore, the major part of the engaging zones of each load platform 11 can be covered by push-down beam 21, and push-down beam 21 has positive impact to the classification capacity of sorting machine 1.
Push-down beam 21 can also alternatively be configured to single component or at least be configured to the assembly of any parts without relative to each other telescopic moving.For example, use forming in the case of be fitted into long slot bore wherein by Connection Element 23.In described alternative, in the situation that push-down beam may inclined orientation, the scope that push-down beam extends at the rear portion of post gap 32 will be less than or even equal push-down beam exceedes the anterior diastema 32 at front side place limited range at the situation downward-extension of push-down beam 21 with extensible member as above.
As Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 further as shown in, each load platform 11 can also be provided with upright guide edge 51 on its front load platform parts 11a.Described guide edge 51 perpendicular to transmission direction, be parallel to gap 32 and extend, and particularly execution effect in the time that product to be sorted is fed to load platform 11.On this point, if said product is directly positioned at the side of push-down beam 21, this is favourable so, in fact will have the classifying quality of expectation with the transverse shifting subsequently that causes described push-down beam 21.But, there is following risk, for example, if acutangulate the supply transmitter in path that (30 degree) be connected to taxon 2 for product to be sorted is supplied to load platform 11, so said product is by the risk pushing through.In order to prevent this pushing through, be provided with multiple guide edges 51, in fact guide edge can also be used as stop edge.
Although may describe hereinbefore the present invention by embodiment with reference to of the present invention, wherein, the transverse shifting of push-down beam is realized by the mode of two vehicle-mounted motors, but should clearly notice, the push-down beam that the fixed guide arranging by the path along load platform drives also can be in framework of the present invention, and wherein this guide coordinates with the ways that is connected to push-down beam.This type of drive has for example been described in WO2009/128706A1.
Further point out, so far also can be in framework of the present invention with the reverse transmission direction of transmission direction 3.In this case, if put upside down the asymmetric of push-down beam, this will be favourable so.That is to say, extensible member 21b will be positioned in a side of convex edge 12 (it is characterized by this case lagging dege), and the end of extensible member 21a will be arranged on the position of housing parts 14.Certainly, this also implies, if use this putting upside down, the lengthwise position of guide edge 51 will change so.
By move and be bonded on two driver elements at different longitudinal position place of push-down beam along push-down beam, the horizontal driving of push-down beam can both make push-down crossbeam move around by different way between two extreme horizontal positions separately.For example, imaginabale and even advantageously, after loading stocks, on load platform, detect the position of product to be sorted at load platform.For example, this camera that can arrange by the path along sorting machine produces.Setting behind the position of product, can control motor 41 against the mode of product to be sorted by control system (not shown) with push-down beam.For this purpose, for example, push-down beam can approach at a high speed product and move until it is against this product to product with low speed subsequently.Subsequently when motor arrives sort out the position of said product in longitudinal side time, by control device starter motor to produce the classification of expecting.Method as above has important advantages, and the mechanical load that is applied to product by the push-down beam for product is classified will be quite low with the mechanical load being applied on the driver train of push-down beam.
Alternatively, push-down beam can also approach product to be sorted with relatively low speed, until sensor component detects the load of increase on one or two motor 41, has shown that push-down beam is against product to be sorted.Another possibility is to make push-down beam be equipped with contact pickup, to can detect and the contacting of product to be sorted.
In the case of the orientation of product to be sorted remains unchanged with respect to the transmission direction of product itself (in the situation that of rectangular products, the minor face that is positioned at the front side place on sorting machine also will be positioned at the front side place discharging on transmitter), as occurring in acute angle, the classification of fruit product is for example connected to, on the discharge transmitter (transport tape or discharge skewed slot) of the downstream part in the path of sorting machine, the orientation that changes so product before classification occurs is very favorable, to product is alignd with the direction of discharging transmitter at connection location place.In order to realize this object, above-mentioned against realizing by push-down beam, make the longitudinal direction of this push-down beam be adapted to discharge the direction of transmitter.Push-down beam can rotate slightly product on load platform.In order to make product with the transfer of reliability generation from load platform to discharge transmitter to greatest extent, can before leaving load platform completely, product give push-down beam by starting one or two motor 41 degree of will speed up soon in addition.
Another kind may be to make product tentatively move forward to the transverse edge of load platform, once product against push-down beam, just makes the actual movement of the push-down beam in assorting process as much as possible little, and makes the least possible time of classification cost.Then, classification position is following closely provided provide each other for this.
What the another kind that proposes was favourable may be that, if do not use guide edge 51, the product that can also be greater than the length of single load platform 11 to its length is classified.In this case, in the time that two the push-down beams 21 relevant to two load platforms 11 are positioned at the side of long products, this feeding product carriers is at least two continuous duty platforms 11.Comprise with transmission direction 3 angulations and in being in alignment with each other at push-down beam, can classify.
For to compared with miscellaneous goods classification or from wider load platform another modification to product classification, being positioned at position in the middle of load platform width can be by the reference position that acts on push-down beam.In this case, product to be sorted can be fed to the load platform in any side of push-down beam, therefore can classify by push-down beam being moved to an extreme horizontal position, during this moves, push-down beam may or can not present the orientation of inclination.
In the as above classification described in various modification can the linear parts at transmission path and occur in bend.
In said frame, the disclosure also relates to the method that uses the sorting machine for product is classified, this sorting machine comprises successive carriage unit, described successive carriage unit is all provided with separately has front edge and antemarginal load platform, each load platform is all provided with stayed surface between front edge and lagging dege for supporting the product such as a luggage on it or supporting at least its parts, this sorting machine further comprises: transmission apparatus, its for along transmission path at transmission direction traffic load platform, and sorting device, it comprises the elongate pushrod formula element for each load platform, for using at least one push-down element product to be sorted to be pushed away at least one stayed surface to side at the classification position place of expecting, each described push-down element described at least one load platform at least partly above extend and be designed in transmission direction and at least one load platform intermodel transportation, and driving element be at least partially disposed on load platform below between two at the classification position place of expecting relatively extreme horizontal positions to side mobile putter formula element, described push-down element is pivotally connected to driving element via two Connection Elements around two vertical pivots, this Connection Element engages push-down element at two different lengthwise position places, and driving element comprises two motors being controlled separately by control device, for the transverse shifting of two corresponding Connection Elements.The method comprises the following steps:
